Griefing

A player who intentionally tries to disrupt or ruin other players' gameplay is known as a griefer. Some griefers try to make their intentions unclear so that they can harm the team indefinitely without being kicked.

[edit] Griefing acts to majority of players

• Blocking Trader entrances.
• Unwelding or destroying doors that the team wants welded.
• Purposely running in front of an explosive weapons user to cause self-damage.
• Purposely enraging the Fleshpound with a weak weapon so that it will damage or kill its target.
• Being useless by following team-mates around for protection while not assisting them at all.
• Blocking players to prevent them from backpedaling away from specimens.
• Using a shotgun to knock team-mates off edges.
• Hacking.
• Welding doors to block team-mates.
• Team-killing on purpose (on friendly fire servers).
• Firing explosives at specimens that are close to team-mates, creating opaque smoke clouds that may annoy players by obstructing their view.
• Kiting the final specimen indefinitely while the rest of the team is waiting at the trader for the round to end.
• Firing flamethrower at fleshpounds/scrakes and sirens, which will obstruct the view of the sharpshooter who could take them down quicker.

[edit] Griefing acts to some players

• Mic-spamming.
• Abusing bugs.
• Spamming voice commands.
• Abusing players

[edit] Non-griefing acts

• Farming perks on an easy map.
• Going "rambo" -- killing the majority of specimens, not helping team-mates, and not donating cash to those in need. Although not an act of grief, it is disliked by most of the community.
• Not giving excess money to players even if the player has a surplus.
